FiberLean® MFC，第一个可供销售产品，可以为纸及纸板厂家改善质量，或者通过增加矿物填料的添加量来获得生产利润以及节约成本。它还可以用到建筑材料、医药以及高分子聚合物等行业，同时它也通过了美国食品及药物管理局(FDA)的食品接触通知(FCN)认证。
FiberLean MFC, the first commercially available product, allows paper & packaging producers toimprove quality and/or increase the mineral filler loading to achieve productivity gains and reducedcosts. Additional future target markets include construction materials, pharmaceutical products aswells as polymer applications. FiberLean MFC has a Food Contact Notification (FCN) from the U.S.Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
MFC的商业活动由欧米亚和益瑞石的商务团队各自独自运作，以更加快捷地让多行业的客户了解该技术。
The commercialization of MFC is to be independently and separately undertaken by Omya andImerys commercial teams making the technology easily accessible to customers across variousindustries.
